Fix Text (Documentation Requirement)
Revoke trust in any certificates not issued by a DOD-approved certificate authority. Configure PostgreSQL to accept only DOD and DOD-approved PKI end-entity certificates. To configure PostgreSQL to accept approved CAs, refer to the official PostgreSQL documentation: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/ssl-tcp.html For more information on configuring PostgreSQL to use SSL, refer to supplementary content APPENDIX-G.
